Many people subscribe to the "intentions and feelings" school of chauvinism rather than material actions which is How You End Up Dead

Couldn’t at first figure out which blockee/blocker of mine could possibly have generated such outrage here by saying stupid shit about Iran. Didn’t take long though for NewYorkTimesMan to emerge blinking from the wreckage to resume his hunt for Who Bombed Gaza

The WSJ is reporting that AI, specifically Claude, was used in targeting for the attacks by the Epstein Empire. That would mean the use of AI led directly to the massacre of 115 schoolchildren and 20 volleyball players. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

I feel like we can all use a ridiculous goblin horse in our feed today.

Utterly horrifying. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Listening to this Fresh Air #podcast episode yesterday helped me better understand what’s going on. It aired on Feb 26, about two days before the bombing. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f... #NoWarWithIran

Nobody just fuckin wakes up in the U.S. Army and Navy it don’t work like that. The people doing the killing chose the killing work specifically

"I feel bad for the troops" posts are just incredible in 2026. Anyone signing up these days wasn't even alive for Iraq and we're supposed to act like they were fooled into thinking what the imperial military is about and for? Everyone has had plenty of time to hear a rumor or two.

Jake Lang was arrested today in DC.

And my favorite piece I wrote all year: watching activists derail a planned Border Patrol apprehension in Kenner, Louisiana.

"Evidence-based cult"

Kate Osborne is smart and sharp and this is unmistakeable messaging from red (well, normally) Labour

I wasn’t done baking and certainly not eating

The earth shattering split between the wings of the American center-left was not 2016. It was in 2002 and 2003 and it was barely heard over the chaos of events but that was where things were torn finally asunder. It was 2002 and 2003.

This sort of thing disgraces all of humanity.

get in loser we’re unburdened by what has been

Trump has launched an illegal regime change war. As someone who has survived the horrors of war, I know military strikes will not make us safer; they will inflame tensions and push the region further into chaos. When we abandon diplomacy, we choose destruction.

OK, I guess I'm not gonna sell those maps of Greenland. Or Venezuela. Better start printing Iran and Cuba.

Keir Starmer’s statement on Iran:

And that is exactly why we are asked this question when we speak of peace.

Israel, immediately after vaporizing a bunch of little girls:

Why does the entire industry look like they had a logo drawing contest and the only rule was “eat this acid and draw a butthole”?

Liz Warren was clapping for this days ago. Harris and Walz villified Iran on the campaign trail; Chuck Schumer’s TACO bit is in part about Trump being “soft” on Iran. Make no mistake, Democrats love dead Iranians just as much as they love dead Palestinians

the reason conservatives treat "cancelled for their conservative views" and "cancelled for being a sex pest and rapist" the same is that "powerful men should be allowed to rape their subordinates" *is* a conservative view

Carney supports illegal war and the murder of innocents.

Throughout the entire Cold War, "peace talks in Geneva" used to mean something. Those days are now over. The United States used the Geneva talks as cover to finalise military operational planning for an all-out offensive attack. Nothing but a cynical charade. An illegal war. 21st century hell.

Worth noting that Japan using peace talks with Washington as cover for their sneak attack on Pearl Harbor is one of the reasons we were so fucking furious at them on December 8, 1941. It's WHY FDR called it a Day of Infamy

Carney continues to be a voice of cowardice and fecklessness when it really matters. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

what a crazy night for sam altman to be like "yeah we got that dept of war deal, and there's no moral concerns here"

Iran has lasted 46 years of revolutionary (ugh) government and they still, to all visible indications, have widespread effective control over Iran. For the last 35 of those they’ve been the world’s greatest superpower’s leading sworn enemy, except for about three months. They’ve done ok.

A functioning opposition party would respond to this moment by committing to join the ICC when they return to power. Democrats won’t. And it’s for the same reason they failed to hold Trump accountable after Jan 6. Shielding elites from accountability is a depressingly bipartisan project in DC.

Everyone is gonna be racist as fuck again just like all the times before

“Support us or die”, “support us or it’s the camps for you”, was broadly the American liberal and Democratic Party response to its domestic peace movement. And they were right; although the VAST majority supported them, liberals felt it wasn’t enough. So the Democrats built camps and bought guns.

The centre almost everywhere has abandoned this strategy in recent decades as fraying political cohesion, the polycrisis and the continued bad faith of capital have driven the left flank of centrist parties to seek new vehicles. There is only abuser-speak now, often literally “support us or die”

If Reform had won, Labour's statement would be that this result is a stark reminder we need to listen and learn from voters who rightly feel betrayed by modern politics. But the Greens won by a comfortable margin, so it's: these voters are stupid and also sinister and, ugh, Muslims

I understand why people don’t study the history of the Labour Party, but the Labour Party has doing The Strange Death Of Liberal England to itself, and trying to stomp on its own feet to put out the fire like the Liberals did to the forces that became Labour, is most fascinating.

Love peace and solidarity to all Iranians this fucking sucks shit

looks like its time for everybody's favorite biblical proof text again! warranting genocidal slaughter from the iron age levant to plymouth bay to gaza and beyond

Well, colour me shocked.

Reminding folks that this is not applicable to Canada. Scouts Canada is a different org that has been gender neutral since I was a scout in the early 90s and I don't think have any relationship with the military (that's what Cadets are for) nor any direct ties to the Mormon Church.

New — I spoke to eight trans people in Kansas about the new state law that invalidated their driver’s licenses overnight, what’s it’s like to live there right now, plus details of two DMV emails exclusively obtained by The Handbasket that shed light on the law’s chaotic and cruel rollout:
